N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine

Enhance your biochemical and pharmaceutical research with N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (CAS No.: 7512-17-6, CAT No.: SRCA-026), a high-purity N-acetylated derivative of glucosamine. This naturally occurring monosaccharide is a key component of glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycolipids involved in cell signaling and structural functions. With molecular formula C₈H₁₅NO₆ and molecular weight 221.21 g/mol, it typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is soluble in concentrated acids but insoluble in water and common organic solvents. Valued for its biological relevance and stability, N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine is widely used in research on glycosylation, drug development for osteoarthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, and cosmetics for skin health.
